50 years of local NAACP: President Jason Dorsette in conversation

CAITLYN M. MAY When Oregon was admitted to the Union, its constitution prohibited people of color from living within its borders. âNo free negro or mulatto not residing in this state at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall ever come, reside or be within this state,â it reads. Those who violated the exclusion clause faced lashings. âI like to look at history and learn from history because it has a way of explaining a lot,â said Jason Dorsette, the president of the Albany/Corvallis NAACP. âCulturally, the ways in which a lot of Black and brown communities learn is by specifically handing down stories from our ancestors. My hypothesis is that there are so few Black and brown people in the state because before the internet, before Facebook, our ancestors 100 years ago passed down those stories saying, if youâre Black or brown, you cannot go to Oregon.â
